'Evocative, gripping and beautifully written. I've recommended this book to everyone I know' EMERALD FENNELL

'A magnificent read' LAWRENCE OSBORNE
From the author of A Waiter In Paris...
In 1960s Paris, the high-life and the low-life go hand in hand. It is a time of glamour, sports cars, casinos and night clubs with a cast of actresses, petty criminals, high-level gangsters and compromised politicians. And with French cinema taking the world by storm, the man at the dark heart of it all is an enigmatic film star dubbed 'the most beautiful man in the world'.
With a shady past and a taste for bad company, Alain Delon lives on the edge. But when a dead body turns up in the outskirts of Paris that turns out to be his associate, Stevan, questions begin to be asked. That Delon shot to stardom playing the stylish and murderous Tom Ripley does not go unnoticed. Is art imitating life or is life imitating art? And who killed Stevan Marković?
Edward Chisholm, author of the acclaimed A Waiter In Paris submerses the reader into the city's demimonde and draws us intimately into events as they unfold. And as we inhabit the lives of the players in this extraordinary true-life drama, we witness what became to be known as The Marković Affair from the inside, as it spirals out of control and not only pulls down Alain Delon but everyone in his orbit.
For fans of Patrick Radden Keefe, David Grann and Philippe Sands, A Murder In Paris '68 may be the best non-fiction you read this year.
'An engrossing book. Through the story of a murder, it takes us back to Paris in the 1960s. As in A Waiter in Paris, Edward Chisholm pierces the glitter to find the city's seamy underside. And unlike the police of the time, he seems to have cracked the case.' SIMON KUPER
'A tremendous achievement, genre-defining, sexy, supple, scary. Chisholm gets us into the heads of all the characters, with the noir of Ripley and the street style and ineffable cool of New Wave.' JASON SOLOMONS, film critic and producer©2026 Edward Chisholm
Recensioni della critica
'Evocative, gripping and beautifully written. I've recommended this book to everyone I know!' (Emerald Fennell)
'Highly original, atmospheric and brilliantly conceived, Murder in Paris '68, a true story, reads like a tremendous thriller: fascinating, disturbing and shrewdly compelling.' (William Boyd)
'Written more like a novel in both spare and fast-moving prose, Chisholm's gripping book takes us into the heart not just of an era but into the inner world of a single man: Alain Delon. It is, in a way the world depicted in his most iconic film, Melville's Le Samurai - a world of gangsters, violence and underworld Parisian conspiracies, whose denizens possess their own cold elegance and charisma. Consequently, it's also a portrait of an entire culture at a single moment in its history, one that is now half-forgotten. A magnificent read.' (Lawrence Osborne)
'Chisholm once again immerses himself in French culture. But this time he approaches his subject as both historian and detective... reconstruct[ing] the texture of Paris in the late 1960s. It's a hell of a story... The effect is almost cinematic... But this isn't just high-end true crime. Chisholm has greater ambitions. Murder in Paris '68, is a study of doubling and identity, The Talented Mr Ripley meets the Nouvelle Vague. The book is a masterclass in narrating how certain kinds of people and certain kinds of stories come into being.'
'This is a stylish, intelligent page-turner, as gripping as a thriller film script. Generations who have never heard of Stevan Marković have a lurid mystery to enjoy; for all ages, it is a clever reworking of a great scandal.'
'In this remarkable book, utterly gripping over 400 pages, high-end novelised non-fiction takes a big leap forward. This astonishing story deserves a lavish TV treatment too in due course. [...] A remarkable book about an extraordinary time.' (Roger Alton)
'A tremendously stylish trip back to late sixties Paris.'
